Not long ago,\u00a0Giuseppe Gabriele, a young man from Italy discovered his hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) problem and now opened up about his struggles and how hyperhidrosis affects his life. He tried healing creams and deodorants before but without any results. After several failures, he decided to give a chance to our Hidroxa SE 20<\/a> iontophoresis machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens when sweating takes over your life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hyperhidrosis (also known as excessive sweating) affects patients’ quality of life, resulting in social and work impairment and emotional distress. This often leads to a negative self-image and fear of people\u2019s reactions. Furthermore, it has a negative effect on the mental health of sufferers, especially its youngest sufferers. They are constantly worried about noticeable sweating. Hyperhidrosis affects their ability to participate in school activities, have fun, pursue a career, engage in relationships, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are many people out there in the world who are struggling with excessive sweating just like you. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, there are nearly 5% of the world’s population suffers. However, many are too embarrassed to speak up and seek help. They frequently report frustrations or problems with things most people take for granted. This often involves things such as shaking hands or missing out on social gatherings. The condition does interfere with almost every aspect of their lives, from clothing to career choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperhidrosis awareness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hyperhidrosis really doesn’t have the awareness that it should have, considering how many people are living with it. Our aim is to spread hyperhidrosis awareness to help people find more support through sharing their stories so that excessive sweating can be taken seriously and given the research and treatment development it deserves. It is also important to spread the word that there are many treatments available and the symptoms of excessive sweating can be effectively treated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living with this condition can make you feel isolated, depressed, confused, and alone, but we want you to know that you are not alone and you are so much more than your diagnosis. It takes a lot of courage to go through life as a sweater and even more to speak about hyperhidrosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giuseppe’s story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, through the eyes of a young man Giuseppe Gabriele, here\u2019s a glimpse of the impact hyperhidrosis has on the quality of his life. He is now 19 and discovered this problem 4 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
